She has sprung a leak! wouldn't know where to start looking for a radiator. Are radiators easily interchanged? You think they still make em for 1987 cbr's. the bottom section of mine looked like a machine gun hit it..are these cause by rocks? or the fan?

Not sure if Honda would still make something that fits (probably) but there are at least 5-6 of them on e*ay and a couple of those are located right there in Oz. Early and late models also look pretty similar judging by the pictures. Good luck!

New ones go for about £350 that I've seen, what it would cost you out there is anyone's guess.

E-bay is your best place to look, I'm sure if the exact model isn't available you could check the part numbers in the parts fiche.

Hey :

Early and late are very different, as the hose sizes are smaller on the 87-88 models and take different pathes. A 94-?? CB1000F will work but the mounts are a bit different. I had a CB1300SF on my other bike and took a little fab on the mounts but it worked as well. plus it is a little thicker and cools very well. The 89-00 CBR1000F are meant to work with a outside the bodywork thermo housing, its under the petrol tank on 87-88 bikes.

here you can see the diff:

Mine does look different to the photo.

Mine has pipes coming in at the top and out at the bottom, your look like they are at the same end, i would think this a big difference

hoo hoo after many days of searching with no success finding the right model radiator...asked the mrs to help me find one, and lo and behold she found one only 10 min drive away was a small little bike parts place and he had an 87 1000f model radiator with a good working fan and sold it to her for only 90$. It was like Christmas finding this! im stoked. put her all back together this morn and tested. seems like all is good.no green stuff on the ground and the fan kicks in at 1/2 temp. very happy
